Initial

Start

Up

On

the

initial

startup

and

after

confirming

the

legal

disclaimer,

a

screen

will

appear

informing

the

operator

that

an

automatic

setup

must

be

performed.

After

confirming

this

screen,

the

automatic

setup

will

begin

(

Section

).

The

automatic

setup

reminder

at

startup

will

also

be

shown

each

time

a

firmware

update

is

performed.

5.2

Main

Run

Screen

Once

the

system

is

correctly

configured,

it

is

very

simple

to

use.

After

confirming

the

legal

disclaimer,

the

run

screen

will

appear.

For

a

virtual

terminal,

from

the

display’s

start

up

screen,

select

the

UC5™

icon.

An

image

of

the

boom,

with

the

height

of

each

boom

section

is

displayed

as

shown

in

Figure

2

.

To

change

between

automatic

and

manual

mode,

select

the

corresponding

AUTO

(A)

or

MANUAL

(M)

button.

When

the

UC5

system

is

in

manual

mode,

the

height

displayed

under

each

boom

section

is

measured

from

the

spray

nozzles

to

the

soil

(Soil

Mode™)

or

crop

canopy

(Crop

Mode™

or

Hybrid

Mode™).

If

there

are

five

height

sensors

on

the

sprayer,

the

height

displayed

is

the

average

for

each

boom

section.

When

the

UC5

system

is

in

automatic

mode,

arrows

will

appear

on

the

screen

above

or

below

the

boom

sections.

These

arrows

indicate

the

UC5

system

is

making

a

correction

to

part

of

the

boom

in

the

displayed

direction.

Often

the

correction

will

be

very

small

and

there

may

not

be

a

noticeable

change

in

boom

position.
